The annu­al con­fer­ence of the Auto­mo­tive Fleet and Leas­ing Asso­ci­a­tion (AFLA) will be held Sep­tem­ber 7–10, 2014 at the M Resort & Spa Casi­no in Las Vegas, Neva­da. The theme for this year’s con­fer­ence is Learn, Inno­vate, Win: Improv­ing Your Odds for Fleet Suc­cess. This is AFLA’s sec­ond trip to Las Vegas, return­ing after a suc­cess­ful con­fer­ence in 2010.

The theme is reflec­tive of AFLA’s ded­i­ca­tion to offer­ing top-notch speak­ers and con­tent for an afford­able con­fer­ence fee and a great return on your invest­ment. Vince Poscente, Wel­don Long, and Scott Bur­rows will all give keynote pre­sen­ta­tions at this year’s con­fer­ence. AFLA is excit­ed to part­ner with these great speak­ers to present key pro­fes­sion­al devel­op­ment top­ics dur­ing the con­fer­ence.

Vince Poscente will focus on pro­fes­sion­al devel­op­ment by shar­ing his insights on achiev­ing big goals in less time. His against-all-odds strat­e­gy will help your team be more aligned, agile, and effi­cient.

Wel­don Long is a dri­ven moti­va­tor who will use his sto­ry of going from a home­less shel­ter to build­ing an Inc. 5000 com­pa­ny with over 20 mil­lion dol­lars in sales in just 60 months as inspi­ra­tion.

Scott Bur­rows is an expert on trans­for­ma­tion­al change and uses his inspi­ra­tional life sto­ry to encour­age every­one to stand up to their chal­lenges.

These three speak­ers are sure to inspire while giv­ing you best prac­tice take-aways you can imple­ment with your own com­pa­nies, pro­vid­ing an imme­di­ate pay­back to your employ­er.

Last year, the Women in Fleet Man­age­ment ses­sion was a great hit in its first year.
